Live Q&A with the director begins at
8:00 P.M.

Email
info@saintmarks.org
to receive the link. (Please note that the time of the Q&A has changed.)
On Friday, May 15, the Online Film Series continues with
Voices Across the Divide, an award-winning film by Dr. Alice Rothchild, exploring the thinking of Jews who support the Occupation and settlements in the West Bank, and those who do not. A live discussion with Dr. Rothchild will follow the screening. The purpose of the film, as explained by its directors, is to open a space for honest dialogue:
"The Israeli/Palestinian conflict is one of the most prominent, hot button debates in the US today. There is often little space for compassionate listening or deepening awareness. Access to information about the conflict is shaped by powerful forces and organizations. We believe a better future is possible based on mutual respect and knowledge."

And mark your calendars for these upcoming events in the online film series:
- FRIDAY, MAY 29: Oscar-nominated short film Nightmare of Gaza, paired with Gaza Fights for Freedom, followed by a discussion of the film with Former Congressman Dr. Brian Baird.

Heritage Sunday at Saint Mark's Cathedral
NEXT SUNDAY, MAY 24
- 10 A.M.: DEAN'S FORUM
- 11 A.M.: SPECIAL LITURGY
- NOON: SPECIAL FESTIVE COFFEE HOUR
|
|
In 2019 Saint Mark's began what was intended to be an annual tradition:
Heritage Sunday
, an opportunity to celebrate and give thanks for all the generations who have come before us in the community of Saint Mark's, Seattle—from the founders of the parish in the nineteenth century, to those longtime members of the community who still bless us with their experience and wisdom today.
The event will begin with
a special Zoom forum
in the 10 a.m. hour. Dean Thomason will present a brief slide show of historical details about the cathedral, then a panel of
The Reverends Carla Berkedal Pryne, Kate Kinney, and Sue Reid, who served at Saint Mark’s as priests in three different decades, will reflect on their experiences. This forum will be presented simultaneously over Zoom and on Facebook Live—watch your email for more details, or contact
info@saintmarks.org.
From 10:45 until the start of the 11 a.m. liturgy, the livestream will present a
special slideshow of historical images
from the 1940s through the 2000s, shared by many members of the community. (
Note: If you want to share a photo to be included, please send a copy, with your names on the back, to Erik Donner at
edonner@saintmarks.org
no later than Monday May 18.
)
Like last year, the 11 a.m. service will again employ
elements of the liturgy that would be familiar to generations past
, including music, prayers, vestments, and the order of service itself. Drawing on prayers spanning nearly 500 years of Anglican worship, we will pull out the stops for a special celebration. Former senior wardens serving in three different decades will read the scriptures. Former Dean The Rev. Fred Northup will be guest preacher. Dean Thomason will officiate. Special music will frame the joyful occasion, including a rousing postlude of Copland’s “
Fanfare for the Common Man
” with organ and percussion.
Following the service, there will be a Zoom gathering to which all are invited as we share stories about our common life at Saint Mark’s through the years.
Special guests have been invited—including Pro Christo Award recipients, former senior wardens, and all the living clergy who have served at Saint Mark’s through the years. Join the fête to share some Saint Mark’s time together.
Watch your email for the links to participate, and contact
info@saintmarks.org
with any questions.

"Is EfM for me?"—An Introduction to Education for Ministry
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10, 7 P.M.,
via Zoom

Education for Ministry many times—especially this time of year when registration for the upcoming session is open. If you are new to Saint Mark's, you might be hearing about EfM for the first time. But what it is really like to participate in an EfM class? What sort of work is required? What happens at the class meetings? Are there exams??? Please consider attending a Zoom forum on Wednesday evening, June 10, to learn all about what EfM is... and what it isn't! Canon Cristi Chapman will be the host, and Saint Mark's team of EfM mentors will be the panelists. Contact
cchapman@saintmarks.org for the link to participate.

Sanctuary News – Are You on the List?
The situation for immigrants and refugees is increasingly difficult, and our paying attention, responding to calls for emails and phone calls to our legislators, getting involved where we can, and praying for all affected is now more important than ever. The group
Sanctuary at Saint Mark’s receives updates on what’s going on locally and at the border—and here with our own family in Sanctuary—from Canon Nancy Ross. Everyone who is interested, regardless of their level of engagement in the Sanctuary Ministry, is encouraged to sign up for these mailings to stay informed. If you’re not already on the Sanctuary mailing list, and you want to receive these occasional email updates, please email

Casa Latina Workers Need Work!
We can now support our friends at Casa Latina, who have been hit extremely hard by the pandemic shut-down!
The Day Workers Center has opened
on a limited basis, with strict policies to follow Governor Inslee’s
“Safe Start Plan,”
and is now taking work orders related to
landscape services
and
outdoor maintenance
.
If you have tasks around your yard that need to be done, there are people ready and willing—and needing the work! So many of us appreciated the Forums and Cathedral Commons when members from our partner Casa Latina came and shared their personal stories of immigration—and their difficulties and resilience and activism for worker rights—with us. If you have work, that is the best way to support the community in these times. Rest assured that Casa Latina’s priority is to ensure the safety of worker-members and employers as the Day Workers Center re-opens. All the details are here:
https://casa-latina.org/get-involved/hire-worker
. Please consider supporting the livelihood of these neighbors.

A note on Zoom links...
We have all very quickly become used to using the Zoom teleconferencing platform in so many areas of our lives, from work meetings to classes to socializing. At the same time, the phenomenon of "
Zoom bombing," when uninvited guests invade meeting to cause disruption, has become a real threat. The nature of the disruption has in some instances gone well beyond the level of mere practical jokes. For this reason
we must become more careful about openly posting Zoom links in public. (This includes this weekly
Sundays & Beyond email, which is made
publicly available.) All Zoom meetings and events will be publicized with the organizer's email address. Please do not hesitate to write a very brief email, and they will respond with the link to join. If at any time it is unclear how to get the link, simply email
info@saintmarks.org. Thank you for your understanding.
